This is a compilation of three concerts from 1999 and 2001 dedicated to
American Folk Musicm Songs, which were collected by Harry Smith, but
interpreted by contemporary artists like Elvis Costello, Lou Reed,
Steve Earle or the McGarrigle Sisters. The idea was to show the
influence of American Folk Musics on social life and politics. It
contains also a film be Harry Smith accompanied by Phil Glass, a real
highlight. There is also a short sequence showing Harry Smith himself
on the phone and another bonus showing him receiving his Grammy. All
songs are played in full length. Technically it is very well filmed
(the camera is steady) and the sound is great so that you can really
enjoy the artists and their music.
